Fabulous Beasts
All artwork by primary school students, animation by me.
These animated sequences were made and presented as night projections around the city of Horsham, Victoria for the Art Is... Layers of Time Festival in 2016. The project features animals from the Wimmera Region who are endangered or extinct, and was accompanied by recorded stories form locals about their memories or knowledge of the beasts. During the Festival a passer-by may have seen a Pig-Footed Bandicoot scooting across a brick wall or a Platypus swimming on the Wimmera River. Maybe some people saw two Australian Bustards strolling through the long grass on the river bank or a Toolache Wallaby nervously looking around the Horsham Town Hall car park? They were elusive and mysterious and it was a wonderful project to be involved in.
I was part of a team of creatives led by Natimuk based artist Mary French, animating the sequences using drawings from primary school students from Dimboola, Horsham, Natimuk and Haven. I worked alongside filmmaker/playwright/writer Tracey Rigney facillitating a two-day workshop at the Horsham Town Hall where the students learned about the various animals and created all artwork.
I love animating students work. Their drawings are just gorgeous and have so much personality to bring to life. I also love the challenge of making them move realistically when I often have only one 2D image to work with.
Fabulous Beasts will be on exhibition at the Horsham Regional Art Gallery from April 22 - June 11 2017.

AUSTRALIA SILO ART TRAIL
Recently I went for a road trip to the middle of Victoria to check out the epic Silo Art Trail. We started the trip by visiting Australia's largest Grain Store at Murtoa and capped it off with an even more amazing place called, Lake Tyrell - a salt lake!
What is Silo Trail?
The Silo Art Trail is Australia’s largest outdoor gallery. The trail stretches over 200 kilometres, linking Brim with neighbouring towns Lascelles, Patchewollock, Rosebery, Rupanyup and Sheep Hills.
Providing an insight into the true spirit of the Wimmera Mallee, the trail recognises and celebrates the region’s people through a series of large-scale mural portraits painted onto grain silos, many of which date back to the 1930s.
The project saw a team of renowned artists from Australia and across the world visit the region, meet the locals and transform each grain silo into an epic work of art; each one telling a unique story about the host town.
The Silo Art Trail was conceived in 2016 after the success of the first silo artwork in Brim. What started as a small community project by the Brim Active Community Group, GrainCorp, Juddy Roller and artist, Guido van Helten resulted in widespread international media attention and an influx of visitors to the region and the idea for a trail was born.

Murtoa Grain Store:
Built in 1941, is the largest rustically-built structure in the world. It is currently under protection from Heritage Victoria (since 1992), and is noted in the Australian heritage listings for many, and varied, excellent reasons. Principally, its construction method is unique to Australia, and it also represents a huge leap forward in the handling of harvested crops, with the monumental change from bags to bulk handling.

The Wimmera
The Wimmera
The silo art trail is considered the largest outdoor gallery in Australia. It is a spectacular art display that serves as a reminder of the history and industry that has driven Australia for so many years.
Last weekend Alvin (@alvin_adpd) and I caught up and took a bit of a road trip through the Grampians and Wimmera region stopping to check out the silo art at Rupanyup and Sheep Hills, and the Pink Salt Lake at Dimboola. It was a spectacular sight and something that I definitely recommend doing if you get the chance!

An Interview With Joyce Evans - Photographer - Educator - Valuer - Commercial Photographic Gallery
Joyce Evans works as a documentary photography. Major areas of investigation include the edge of the road, road kills and fatalities, the land, and many other bodies of focused photo essays and photographic work.
In her landscape photography, Evans strives to capture the essence of the place, relating to the viewer not only its purely mimetic qualities, but also the spiritual and psychological sensation of the place. Among the most outstanding bodies of work are series of photographic essays taken by Evans in the Dandenongs and Mt Martha regions in the outer Melbourne; along the Hume Highway; in the Central Desert and outback Australia, most notably Oodnadatta, Oodlawirra, Menindee, and Lake Mungo; vineyards and rural villages in the South of France; the old Jewish cemetery in the centre of Prague; and numerous others.
Evans’s portrait photographs are insightful character studies, taken mainly in black and white, at close range, and more often than not constructed within the subject’s own creative environment, whether studio or office, home or out of doors; with the underlying emphasis on the psychological connection between the sitter and his or her own space. She created a number of important portraits of a diverse cross-section of Australian intelligentsia and personalities, including Marianne Baillieu; Barbara Blackman; Baron Avid von Blumenthal; Tim Burstall; Dur-e Dara; Robert Dessaix; Germaine Greer; Elena Kats-Chernin; Joan Kerr; Ellen Koshland; David Malouf; Dame Elisabeth Murdoch; Lin Onus; Jill Reichstein; Chris Wallace-Crabbe; and innumerable others.
Joyce Evans also plays an important educational role in Australian photography. She taught history of photography at Melbourne’s RMIT University; appointed inaugural assistant director of Waverley City Gallery (now Monash Gallery of Art), 1990-91, the first municipal public collection in Melbourne to specialise in photography; established and inaugurated a course on the History of Photography and appointed Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, 1997-2010. Evans continues conducting lectures and photographic workshops, predominantly in Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Evans worked as an honorary photographer for the Department of Aboriginal Affairs in Central Australia and for over ten years documented Australian country towns and events for the National Library of Australia.
Important publications on Joyce Evans include a monograph Only One Kilometre(Melbourne: Lothian Press, 2003), and exhibition catalogues with essays by Alison Inglis, Eugene Barilo von Reisberg, Tim Page, Victoria Hammond, and many others.
Photographs by Joyce Evans were published in major art compendiums and publications in Australia and internationally, including Studio International (199: 1015, 1986-87);Silvershotz (2010), The Interior(1:1, May 1991); Focus on New Zealand (William Collins, 1986); Colour and Transparency (Melbourne: National Gallery of Victoria, 1986).
Joyce Evans is included in McCulloch’s Encyclopaedia of Australian Art (Alan and Susan McCulloch, eds, 2006); Dictionary of Australian Women Artists (Max Germaine, 1991); Who’s Who of Australian Women (1982, 2007); and The World’s Who’s Who of Women (1986).
She is an approved valuer for Australian and International Photography from the 19th century to present day for the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.
Joyce’s work is held in the following collections:
Castlemaine Regional Art Gallery
Hasselblad Collection Sweden
Horsham Art Gallery (Regional)
Jewish Museum of Australia
Kirby Collection
Lowenstein Collection
Michaels Camera and Video Collection
Mitchell Library, Sydney
Monash Gallery of Art

Grace now works at various sites, including the Bendigo Art Gallery. She is taking driving lessons and hopes to get her license soon and has been able to unite and support her family through her work.
